WhatsApp tightens account security with stronger two-step verification and more

WhatsApp announced Tuesday that it’s launching new security features and updates to help users keep their accounts secure, including stronger two-step verification and the ability to add more than one passkey to your account. The Meta-owned app is also adding context to calls from unknown numbers.

The updates come as WhatsApp and other messaging apps, such as Signal and Telegram, look to make account security easier and more accessible for everyday users, especially as phishing and hacking attempts have become more sophisticated over the years.
